This thread is devoted to operation Harman for the Holidays: a Wyke Hills holiday celebration. The goal of this project is to power and decorate as many buildings in Wyke hills as possible with lights and trees. The culmination of this event will be caroling throughout the suburb singing Malton themed Carols. Please use this thread to post decoration updates and to get or provide help on carol ideas.

Please chime in if you are interested in singing a carol. I am looking to find out what day would be best for people to go caroling. I think a day rather than a specific time will allow us to be more flexible with issues like time zone. As a teaser, here is one verse from the three verse Carol I wrote. To hear the rest, you will have to wait until the event.
Si-ilent night/Maltonian night
Harmaz quake/ at the sight
Zombie horde members dripping with gore
Gnashing teeth always hungry for more
We’re all going to die-ie
We are all going to die

WOO HOO! i found christmas lights
"You are inside the Lodder Building. The NecroTech logo glows gently above the front desk, and doors open onto a number of brightly-lit laboratories and computer rooms. The building has been extremely heavily barricaded (17+). Also here are Buta Kim Cheer+ (50HP), Declan Archerr+ (60HP), Dr Fitzbelmontr+ (50HP), Akhorr+ (50HP), Coke Ellar+ (45HP), Maven of Mortarr+ (55HP), Skyremr+ (60HP), Cainner+ (30HP) and Count VonBurnaganr+ (45HP).
A portable generator has been set up here. It is running low on fuel. A recently-cut fir tree has been propped up in a crude stand, and decorated with red lights.
Somebody has spraypainted Live long and prosper. onto a wall.
You drape the lights over the tree and plug them in."

Here is my contribution. I will post it to the wiki soon. I am not in Wyke right now so anyone else can feel free to perform it for me if they want.
The First Outbreak
The First outbreak, was over in Blackmore
With a bunch of test subjects in test center four
Up on the third floor, found eating the docs
The researchers panicked and threw all the locks.
Outbreak, outbreak, outbreak, outbreak
How many zombies can poor Malton take!
They infected the staff and ran to the streets
Saw lots of humans and ate them like treats.
And now on the streets, they met the police
who politely gestured and asked them to cease.
Outbreak, outbreak, outbreak, outbreak
How many zombies can poor Malton take!
They looked at the police, and the police looked back
The lead zombie groaned and commenced the attack.
They jumped the first cop, started eating his face
The rest of them scattered, the zombies gave chase
Outbreak, outbreak, outbreak, outbreak
How many zombies can poor Malton take!
And since that day, they spread far and wide
as for the survivors, those lived who did hide.
The border went up, around Malton land
No one comes no one goes now, and that’s how things stand
Outbreak, outbreak, outbreak, outbreak
How many zombies can poor Malton take!

i just performed this in the NE corner of the buckley mall. could someone put it on the wiki for me? its all an official entry and stuff.
Hark the feral zombies sing, “we will eat most anything”/
“fireman all soaked in gas, we’re still gonna chew your ass”/
Hungry all the zombies rise, they are in for a surprise/
If we can revive the lot, we have won, we beat the Rot/
If we can revive the lot, we have won we, we beat the Rot.
Hark the feral zombies sing “let’s all do some death culting”/
“now it’s time for gory raids, parachute past barricades”/
Brave survivors watch the walls, medics come from hospitals/
If we can just get them FAKs, that might hold off their attack/
If we can just get them FAKs, that might hold off their attack.
Hark the feral zombies say “now it’s time for some PK”/
“load a gun and crab your axe, give survivors 40 whacks”/
Survivors there’s no need to fear, cause now all the RPs are clear/
Grab some needles start a trend, run out and revive your friends. /
Grab some needles start a trend, run out and revive your friends.
Hark the feral zombie sings “now I’ve tried bout everything”/
“Either I become a working slob, or organize and join the MOB”/
(Wait… a …second…that wasn’t in the plans…)
(…)
C’mon all survivors rise, wipe the terror from your eyes/
If we can revive the lot, we have won, we beat the Rot/
If we can revive the lot, we have won we, we beat the Rot.

Babs from Skynet has an entry that is not posted and Knut of the Knights Templar has one on the way. I just finished the map for next year's Christmas cards that shows Wyke in great shape with lots of decorations. The pictures were taken over the course of several days and I will update it as more decorations go up.  |

The song contest is drawing to a close but it is not over yet. It will continue through the 1st. Anyone who has not yet contributed, we are still in need of a Malton version of Auld Lang Syne to round out the songbook.

Time for a second go Around. The page for Harman for the Holidays II: Return of the Harman, can be found HERE. Festivities are open to all. The event includes a decoration contest, a zombie apocalypse themed caroling contest, and a farewell party for Josh Clark who will be retiring at the end of the year. I am attempting to get Styx to perform an encore in Wyke hills to coincide with the new year. Details on that as they are available. For a refresher on last year's event or to get caroling ideas, see HERE . |

i have one! if i get the chance i will perform it later.
Away in an RP
Away in an RP,
No stick for his head
The little lone zombie
Still wandered undead
The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He stood
The little lone zombie
Not up to no good
The NT was glowing
The lab worker wakes
The little lone zombie
Some mrh?-ing he makes
"I'll stick thee, lone zombie
Just remain close by
I'll prep a syringe,
A revive is nigh."

I just sang this over in Old Arkham. Does that still count. If so, post if you like.
O little city of Malton, /How still we see thee lie!/Above thy deep and undead sleep /The supply planes go by;
Yet in thy dark streets rot-eth /The ever shambling blight;/The dreads and fears of all the years /Are met in thee tonight.
How violently, how violently, /The undead gift is given! /The feeding starts with beating hearts /The bone and flesh is riven.
All ears may hear the groaning, /The zombie shambles round, /Where meek souls can't repel him, still /The barricades cave in.
Come scientists from all Malton! /Descend to us, we pray; /Cast out the zombs with CR bombs, /revive us all today.
Search out the new syringes /There seem to be plenty; /O come to us, abide with us, /Friends from the local NT

Well. Jayson Exccks would perform something, but I'm afraid I spent my AP already. But...If anyone wants it...Here's my UD-related Christmas lyric using the Nightmare Before Christmas' "What's This?" Um...Version one. 'Cause I'm far too lazy to go through the current version and revise a few things right now. 'Cause I'm sure it could use some revising. Go perform it if you want.
Then again, maybe I should have Jayson perform it. The Nightmare Before Christmas is a Disney movie, and Organization XIII is a reference to a group in a Disney/Square-Enix game that features the movie, so...One big reference right after another, I guess...

My Nightmare Before Christmas parody was performed a few hours earlier. Enjoy. I should note...There were three kills to go with that. Sorry, I just couldn't resist performing a bit of karaoke with the spare AP after a coordinated strike. Thanks to my lovely cohort, Kirsty Cotton, for taking a lovely photo of my karaoke performance. PS: The kills can be found in Organization XIII's trophy lounge on our forums, if you're interested in them. Just don't be a complete ass and use the Organization's screenshots for RG. Have a little more class then that rather then swooping to such low levels just to get us on RG. As for why Wicksted is at EHB...That is not the Organization's doing. We actually found the building like that when we began. Shame too. Wasted me a few AP looking for an EP. |

Huh? Nah, you've misunderstood me, Al. We don't mind if we get reported to the RG. It just calls for fun when O13 swaps sides.
To clarify what I meant so no one else misunderstands...
I for one think it's completely unethical to use someone's screenshots against them. I mean, if you're gonna report someone, show a bit of class and use your own screenshots. Not someone else's screenshots you don't really have much right to, unless of course, that someone else gives you permission to use them. It doesn't matter if it's a public place like a forum or an irc room, or a private spot like a PM. Using another's screenshots against them is just completely unethical.
Also, this is just my opinion on the subject matter. This is solely my opinion and my opinion only, and not the opinions of any of my cohorts.
